Turlough Hill power station is 50 years in operation this year.
I have spoken with relevant personnel and a tour is to be scheduled for the TCOC. I'm awaiting precise details on date and numbers permitted. Members interested need to put names on list and as usual it's on a first come first served basis
I hope to have the missing details within the next week
Thanks
Pat

PiBren in, ta Pat; remembering fondly our TRip to Ardnacrusha some years ago.....
Sounds cool, yes pls Pat.
Hi, John Hughes here, myself and Anne would be very interested in this trip . I worked on the inspection end of things on the turbines and the pipework but havent been back to see the completed project.
@Hi Pat - count me in. My latr uncle worked on the site doing tea and sambos for the construction workers. They ran an B&B on the road between the glendalogh turnoff and Turlough hill. Remember spending summers there and my auntie making tons of sandwiches 😀 - weather seemed warmer back then???
Yes please. Count me in.
Pat
Please include me on the list
My late Dad was on of the main Engineering Contractors on Turlough Hill and I had pictures as a kid at bottom of the man-made reservoir before it was filled and we walked down the watersheds to the turning rotors. Dad subsequently presented PJ Moriarty the Chairman of ESB with a ceremonial key to start the turbines for first time and generate power to the National Grid
